We made our goal! Thank you to everyone who contributed to INMED’s GlobalGiving campaign to raise $5,000 to kick start our Financing for Climate-Smart Aquaponics in Jamaica project. We not only made our goal but surpassed it by $808.93! Follow this program on our Facebook page, where we’ll profile the farmers participating in the program. The project is scheduled to launch in June.
